collages by Vantiani
I came across these collages on Etsy yesterday, and absolutely adore them. Made by Vantiani, who offers them as postcards, blank cards, and gift tags. I just love the incorporation of used stamps as the backgrounds, especially the Indonesian ones - because it brings back memories of my stamp collecting days when I was growing up. I'm sure I had the one on the bottom left corner! Did you ever, or still do, collect pretty stamps? I would hate to think it's a dying hobby in this day and age.

These are wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!
These are so whimsical. I used to collect stamps back in the day. And coins too I think. I wonder where they all ended up...
How pretty! :D I collected stamps for, like, a week when I was little. But then I forgot all about stamps and moved on to coin collecting the next week. I was a pretty lazy collector! :)

Love these! I'm definitely going to check out her shop.
I actually have a whole box of stamps I've bought since I was a little girl that I thought were pretty - Disney stamps, children's illustrator stamps, etc. I think it just feeds into my stationery addiction!

These are so beautiful, I love this kind of old images....But...no...I never collected stamps, but I did collect money from the countries I've been to :D (I live in Europe so before the euro there were a lot of different currencies)

Lovely! Inspired by my grand father I also used to collect stamps back in the days. These days I only collect shoes and underwear. I can't help but wonder what my grand father would say if he knew.

i used to collect stamps when i was a young girl, but stopped after awhile. i had some pretty ones too.

so divine!

These are so cute!! I keep stamps on occasion, if I get one in the mail that I can't bear to throw away. Unfortunately I don't really have any system for collecting them, so they just end up scattered around! I need to get organized. :)
Gorgeous!
I used to collect stamps when I was younger. Sadly, I have no idea what happened to the collection.
I love these! Such wonderful colors :)
